The Pillar Catholic portal reports that “Pope Leo XIV” dissolved the Pontifical Commission for World Children’s Day, reversing a 2024 decision by his predecessor “Pope Francis.” The chirograph of February 13, 2026, transferred the event’s organization to the Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life, repealed the commission’s statutes, and relieved its president, Fr. Enzo Fortunato, of his duties. This follows other reversals, such as the restoration of subsidized housing for Vatican officials and the suppression of a donations commission. The Vatican claims the World Children’s Day celebration will proceed, now under the dicastery’s authority. The article presents these moves as part of a quiet effort toward “streamlined internal governance,” while noting Fortunato’s controversial tenure, including a security breach at St. Peter’s and an unauthorized video message to the Sanremo Music Festival.
The thesis is inescapable: these bureaucratic maneuvers within the conciliar sect are a superficial reordering of a sinking ship, utterly divorced from the one, necessary remedy for the global crisis—the public and social reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ as King of nations, which the modernists have systematically excluded from both Church and state.
The Illusion of Administrative Reform
The article’s focus on “streamlined governance,” “reversal of policies,” and “internal Vatican policies” reveals a naturalistic, managerial mentality that reduces the Church to a human organization. This is the very secularism condemned by Pope Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors, which denounces the error that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). The Vatican’s concern is efficiency and asset liquidation—witness the directive to “settle the commission’s outstanding accounts and submit a final liquidation balance sheet”—while the souls of children are being formed in an event that, by its very conception as a “World Children’s Day” divorced from the explicit, mandatory social kingship of Christ, propagates the error of “indifferentism” (Syllabus, Errors 15-18). The Quas Primas encyclical of Pius XI is unequivocal: the “plague that poisons human society” is the secularism that “removed Jesus Christ and His most holy law from… public life” and that “the State… can[not] do without God.” Where in these administrative shifts is any mention of restoring the Social Reign of Christ? Nowhere. The silence is damning.
The Silent Apostasy: Omission of Christ’s Kingship
The analyzed article, like the entire conciliar system it describes, is characterized by a criminal silence on the supernatural. There is no reference to original sin, the necessity of grace, the Sacrifice of the Mass, the authority of the true Church, or the Final Judgment. This omission is not neutral; it is the very hallmark of Modernism, which “reduces the supernatural to the natural,” as St. Pius X condemned in Pascendi Dominici gregis (1907). The World Children’s Day event itself, promoted by the conciliar sect, is a naturalistic celebration of “children” as an abstract good, devoid of the Catholic truth that children must be raised “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Eph. 6:4) within a society explicitly ordered to Christ the King. Pius XI, in Quas Primas, taught that the Kingdom of Christ “encompasses all men” and that “states… have the duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him.” The Vatican’s administrative tinkering, while ignoring this primary duty, is an act of apostasy. It treats the Church as a “service provider” for a generic “children’s day,” not as the sole ark of salvation tasked with converting nations to the only true religion (Syllabus, Error 21).
The Symptom of a Deeper Rot: The “Twofold Power” Rejected
The article’s subject matter—internal Vatican dicastery reorganization—is a symptom of the deeper disease: the rejection of the twofold power (spiritual and temporal) established by God. The Syllabus, quoting Leo XIII, states: “The duties of this twofold power are most wisely ordered in such a way that to God is given what is God’s (Matt. 22:21), and because of God to Caesar what is Caesar’s.” The conciliar sect, however, has embraced the Masonic principle of the separation of Church and State (Syllabus, Error 55), reducing the Church to a “spiritual” entity with no authority over temporal affairs. The very existence of a “Pontifical Commission for World Children’s Day” operating in the secular sphere of “world” events, without a clear mandate to preach the exclusive social reign of Christ, is a manifestation of this error. Its dissolution and reassignment to a dicastery is merely reshuffling the deck chairs on the abomination of desolation. The focus on “accounts” and “assets” mirrors the Syllabus’s condemnation of those who treat the Church as a mere “human society” subject to “evolution” (Errors 39, 53).
The Corruption of the Clerical State: Fr. Fortunato as a Case Study
The article highlights the controversial figure of Fr. Enzo Fortunato, whose resignation followed a security breach and an unauthorized video message. This is not merely a personnel issue; it is a symptom of the moral and doctrinal corruption infesting the post-conciliar clergy. Fortunato, a Franciscan Conventual, operates within a “conciliar sect” where the primary criteria for appointment are often loyalty to the modernist paradigm, not sanctity or doctrinal purity. His actions—brokering a video message to a secular music festival—exemplify the “adaptation to the world” (Error 80 of the Syllabus: “The Roman Pontiff can… reconcile himself… with… modern civilization”) and the profanation of the sacred for worldly approval. This is the natural outcome of a hierarchy that has accepted the errors of Modernism, which Pius X defined as “the synthesis of all heresies.” A true Catholic prelate would rather die than use the Vicar of Christ’s name for a profane entertainment event. Fortunato’s removal, therefore, is likely not for doctrinal or moral reasons, but for administrative failure—a perfect metaphor for the conciliar sect’s priorities.
The Sedevacantist Perspective: Invalid Administrations of a Vacant See
From the perspective of integral Catholic faith, which holds that a manifest heretic loses the papacy ipso facto (St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice; Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code), the entire discussion of “Pope Leo XIV” and his chirographs is a study in the invalid acts of a private individual occupying the See of Rome. The “usurper antipope” (Robert Prevost) and his predecessors since John XXIII have propagated the errors of Vatican II, which is the “synthesis of all heresies” (St. Pius X, Lamentabili sane exitu and Pascendi). Therefore, all administrative acts, including the dissolution and creation of commissions, are null and void in the sight of God and the true Church. They are the internal regulations of a “paramasonic structure” (cf. the analysis of the “Fatima” file’s “Masonic operation” thesis applied to the conciliar revolution’s ecumenical and naturalistic goals). The true Catholic response is not to analyze the efficiency of these reforms but to reject the entire conciliar sect and its false hierarchy, as one would reject the administration of a heretic who has forfeited all jurisdiction (Bellarmine, On the Roman Pontiff 2:30).
Christ the King: The Sole, Neglected Remedy
Pius XI, in Quas Primas, established the feast of Christ the King precisely to combat the “secularism of our times” and the error that “the State… can do without God.” He declared that the Kingdom of Christ “encompasses all men” and that “rulers and governments have the duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him.” The conciliar sect’s obsession with “dialogue,” “human rights,” and “development” (as seen in the very concept of a “World Children’s Day” without explicit Christocentric purpose) is the direct opposite. It is the “plague” of indifferentism (Syllabus, Errors 15-18) and the “error” that “the civil power may interfere in matters relating to religion” (Syllabus, Error 44), now inverted: the Church interferes in secular “children’s” matters while ceding the public square to pagan ideologies. The only “remedy” is the one Pius XI proclaimed: the “public veneration of Christ the King” must lead to the conversion of individuals, families, and states to the only true religion. The Vatican’s administrative news is a distraction from this central, non-negotiable truth.
Conclusion: The article describes the cosmetic adjustments of a terminally ill body. The “conciliar sect” is structurally incapable of restoring the Social Reign of Christ because its very foundation, Vatican II, is a “Masonic operation” (cf. the “Fatima” file’s analysis of symbolism and disinformation) designed to dilute the Faith. Every commission created or dissolved, every policy reversed, is a rearrangement of the deck chairs on a ship sailing toward the rocks of apostasy, with “Pope Leo XIV” at the helm—a man who, by holding the errors of the post-conciliar magisterium, is a manifest heretic and thus no pope (Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice). The faithful must flee this “abomination of desolation” (Matt. 24:15) and adhere solely to the immutable Faith, the true Mass, and the legitimate pre-1958 hierarchy wherever it may be found in hiding. The “World Children’s Day” will only be salvific when it is abolished and replaced by the mandatory, public feast of Christ the King, as Pius XI commanded, with all nations and states formally subject to His divine law. Until then, all such Vatican news is the sound of a collapsing empire, oblivious to its own spiritual death.
